Nadine and Jean-François Laurent come from a family of hoteliers and restaurateurs for several generations. Jean-François studied with Pierre Troisgros and Michel Guérard before opening Hotels and working as a General Manager in the Middle East and Mauritius.
After being exiled for 40 years to the Middle East and Mauritius, they returned to Mirepoix in Ariège, a region that they particularly like for its history, its landscapes, its regional products and its gentleness of live.
